One of the reasons for the high efficiency and selectivity of biological catalysts arise from
their ability to control the pathways of substrates and products using protein channels, and …

Cyanobacteria and plants carry out oxygenic photosynthesis. They use water to generate
the atmospheric oxygen we breathe and carbon dioxide to produce the biomass serving as …

Structural dynamics of water and its hydrogen-bonding networks play an important role in
enzyme function via the transport of protons, ions, and substrates. To gain insights into these …

Biogenesis of photosystem II (PSII), nature's water-splitting catalyst, is assisted by auxiliary
proteins that form transient complexes with PSII components to facilitate stepwise assembly …

Photosystem II (PSII) is a multisubunit pigment–protein complex that uses light-induced
charge separation to power oxygenic photosynthesis. Its reaction center chromophores …

Photosystem II (PSII) is a multisubunit pigment–protein complex and catalyses light-induced
water oxidation, leading to the conversion of light energy into chemical energy and the …

Water oxidation and concomitant dioxygen formation by the manganese-calcium cluster of
oxygenic photosynthesis has shaped the biosphere, atmosphere, and geosphere. It has …

Photosystem II (PSII) is a membrane‐spanning, multi‐subunit pigment–protein complex
responsible for the oxidation of water and the reduction of plastoquinone in oxygenic …

Photosystem II is a light-driven water-plastoquinone oxidoreductase present in
cyanobacteria, algae and plants. It produces molecular oxygen and protons to drive ATP …

The manganese cluster of photosystem II has been the focus of intense research aiming to
understand the mechanism of H2O-oxidation. Great effort has also been applied to …
